The Fu Manchu mustache is less commonly seen than other popular beard and mustache styles.  This makes a variation on the classic Fu Manchu a good option if you want to stand out from the crowd.  This easy, wearable style works, with a few minor tweaks, for almost any face shape and sense of style.

Popular Fu Manchu Mustache Styles

If you are considering a Fu Manchu mustache style, read on.  There’s sure to be an option that will work for you!

1. The Long One

If you’re all about hardcore style and don’t mind a little extra hair around the mouth, then a longer Fu Manchu mustache style is for you! This one comes without a full beard, so the attention is all on the mustache. 

2. Twisted Fu Manchu with Braided Beard

For those men with a long straight beard, loosely braiding it will look nice with an equally long Fu Manchu mustache. To separate the mustache from the beard, you can twist the mustache hairs for their own definition.

3. Solid Colored and Short

Another way to make sure your Fu Manchu mustache stays distinguished is by coloring it to match your hair color. Seen here is a short mohawk in black that matches a short black mustache against a grey buzzed beard.

4. White with No Beard

Prefer to have minimal facial hair? A short white Fu Manchu mustache can stand bravely on its own even if you choose to closely shave your beard area. Keep it trim and short and wear with short hair for a style you can wear confidently to the office.

5. Mountaineer Mustache

For the rugged, wild man style, opt for an extra long straight Fu Manchu mustache. It’s characterized by a salt and pepper color and is typically worn without a beard, although you can certainly break that trend!
